Being the third largest river in Europe, the Dnieper was famous at all times for a large amount of fish and a good catch. So it was when the ancient Greeks fished in it, calling it Borysthenes. The ancient Slavs, who gave it the name Slavutich and built the great Kievan Rus on its banks, did not ignore the river.

Nowadays, there is still good fishing on the Dnieper. In Kremenchuk, for example, there are not only places where there is an excellent catch, but also recreation centers that welcome guests with fishing rods all year round.

Dnipro in Kremenchug

Since antiquity, the Dnieper, due to the activities of people, had to undergo multiple changes not only in the speed of its flow, but also in the state of the riverbed. Numerous hydroelectric power plants, built in the Soviet period, formed artificial reservoirs, for example, the Kremenchug Sea.

There have also been changes in the quantity and quality of fish in the waters of the Dnieper, but today more than 70 species are found in it. This is why fishing in Kremenchug is attractive, because, despite the fact that it is a large industrial city, the fish population has not changed here.

The only problem for a quality catch in these parts is the large number of quiet hunters, especially on weekends. Therefore, in order to really get not only pleasure, but also the result, the best fishing on the Dnieper in Kremenchug is far from the city, since there are many such places.

In the waters of the Dnieper, you will find bream, ram, sturgeon, herring, carp, pike, perch, catfish, sterlet, pike perch, ide and carp. This list is far from complete, as there are many fish in the river that are not of interest for fishing.

Kremenchug sea

The reservoir, built in the 60s of the last century, has become not only a good place for recreation and fishing, but also for fish farming enterprises. The size of the sea, 149 km long and 28 km wide, makes it possible not only to fish or hunt under water, but also to engage in industrial fishing.

The depth of the reservoir reaches 28 m, and its shores are, as it were, created in order to come here for fishing. There are many hidden places, which are convenient to drive up directly by car. In addition to wild fishing, where during the season you can see hundreds of fishermen at the same time, there are well-equipped tourist centers on the reservoir, where guests can rest and fish not only from all over Ukraine, but also from neighboring countries.

Fishermen are especially pleased that the huge amount of fish living in these waters allows everyone to leave with a good catch. Fishing in Kremenchug, unfortunately, cannot please the same. Although amateurs daily throw kilograms of bait into the waters of the Dnieper, the fish prefers peace and quiet.

To be with the catch, without going far from the city, you will have to look for a secluded place where there is no crowding of people and the noise of the city is not heard.

Winter fishing

As you know, frost is not a hindrance to a real fisherman. Therefore, hundreds of people with fishing rods get into suburban buses in winter to go to the Kremenchug Sea for ice fishing. The depth of the reservoir allows the ice to grip firmly, so here you can see not only people frozen over the holes, but also fishing tents, which allow you to do what you love for many hours even in strong wind and frost. The most common trophies that end fishing in Kremenchuk (winter) are bream and roach.

On the Dnieper near Kremenchug, you should be more careful not to get under the ice. This is a navigable river, so the ice must rise so that the movement of ships stops. Taking into account the fact that in recent years there has been a clear change in the climate of Ukraine towards warming, fishing in Kremenchug in winter becomes either rare or dangerous.

Recreation centers

Not far from Kremenchug are located those who have undertaken the obligation not only to create comfortable conditions for their guests for recreation, but also places with a large amount of fish.

To make fishing in Kremenchug really memorable, it is better to rent a cottage at one of the tourist centers and enjoy your favorite business on weekends, holidays or on vacation.

For example, at the recreation center "Mayak", located on the banks of the Dnieper, near the village of Kamenny Potoki, you can not only catch selected bream, catfish, pike perch, grass carp, carp, carp and silver carp, but also take part in the annual international competition in underwater hunting in the fight for the "Slavic Cup".

DNIEPER. KREMENCHUG. Residents of Kremenchug are the happiest residents! Because fishing in Kremenchug is the happiest fishing! I haven’t experienced such extreme for a long time: I haven’t had the opportunity to fish from a concrete cube 5 meters high ... Many do not like to read my emotional reports, they complain about “polyhydramnios”. I'll try to make it shorter. If possible…

Tolya Moreman met us in a noisy, friendly manner. He took me to my office on top, then took me to my favorite place, also on top. Was it a pilot before, or what? But before escorting us to the river, he made us show the tackle. He laughed for a long time, took Vadik to the store, bought what he needed (tackle for bream with a bag for feeding), showed how to knit. Rejected all our hooks, lines, spools. We'll know another time.

We drove across the bridge. I was on such a bridge for the first time, and in general I only saw Kremenchug on TV, so I clicked and clicked my camera. It seems to me that this city is similar to Kiev. Although I also saw Kiev only on TV. We arrived at the base "Mayak". As soon as I saw this old pier, I immediately felt bad. I'm afraid of heights! Tolya probably wanted my death? And he began to tell how "catfish of five kilos" peck here. So what to do with them? How to pull out the line? At best, cut your hands, at worst - gurgle upside down.

Vadik swam to the point clearly marked by Tolya Moreman. Our Tolya Karas went somewhere with a crying girl. I told him a hundred times that they do not go to the Dnieper with a float, but he stubbornly resisted and that's it. Until the evening I ran looking for a place from the shore. I caught a perch and a roach. I ran about three kilometers. He showed up in the evening, stood next to me and began to whine: "It would be better if I went to the Steep Beam, it would be better if I ..." Would kill !!! I tormented my coils for a long time, got confused, broke off, hung springs on a tree, climbed on them, hung over my head on branches above a cliff, like a monkey. It's not realistic to approach the water there, unless you have a mountaineering category.

I was slowly pecking. The assortment was the widest: crucian carp, roach, silver bream, bastard (released), catfish (released), goby (thrown away). And the goby pecked on a carp reel! On the second day, I truncated this business, and began to cling to the foam. Catfish and gobies stopped pecking, but silver bream, crucian carp and roach went. Whole islands of grass were carried along the water, tackles were knocked down, cut off. I lost all the springs and two coils in a day. This despite the fact that the leash on the paternoster was 0.22, fluric! I lifted a stool on it! And on the spring in general, the rope, and the main line is 0.35, lifts the driftwood. And she cut everything off! It seems to me that there was something on the left, and it was pecking just under it.

Vadik sailed in the dark. Rather, he came. He parked the bus in the only place at a distance, where everyone lowers the boats. There is something like a beach. But it is not advisable to fish - a shallow. Vadik brought such a catch that we were speechless: eight bream from a kilo to two. And a bunch of "little things": crucian carp, three hundred to five hundred grams, roach, silver bream. I was so upset that I didn't take the camera out right away. While she was calming her heartbeat, Vadik had already cleaned the fish, Salted Bream, and the small change was taken away from the ear. The ear turned out to be notable! Only by that time we almost had a fight with Tolik Karas and my mood was completely at zero. Moreover, Vadik refused to take me to the boat tomorrow. He said that even he could not even row against the current with such ballast.

We ate and decided to try to catch the catfish. It’s good that it didn’t hit! I don’t know, but it was still scary for me to look down, especially since the landmarks were completely lost in the darkness - where is the water, and where is the concrete. Vadik stood on the next "cube". Tolik Karas got underfoot, whined, swore. Everyone knows that I hate swearing! Finally I sent him. I went to Vadik. But he closed the valve for me - he instructed his tackle. "Sputnik" zapuli, somewhere in the course of reconnaissance saw how they were dragging a carp. Yes, and I almost forgot: fishing is paid there, they collect 20 hryvnias from the boats, it seems not from the shore. But Vadik swam out after lunch, they had already collected it. And the next day no one collected it. Lucky for that, though.

I sat until one in the morning. In proud loneliness. The guys got in before midnight. I had a bunch of worms eating shells, I took out whole garlands of them. Nothing more. I went to bed at one o'clock. I passed out so that I woke up when it was completely light, for which I later received a thrashing from Yura Chancellor. He said that it starts pecking there at about three in the morning and stops as soon as the sun rises. And so it happened. I sat on the fishing rods at 5-30. The bite occurred immediately. Everything pecked. And I finally chewed up the whole buzz of "Verhotury". You see her right away, this fish as soon as she appears out of the water! You evaluate the weight and there you already act according to the situation. You lower the rod and reel in the line to the maximum. There remains something about a meter and a half. Then, smoothly, but with effort, you throw the fish up. And there she almost always gets off the hook. The main thing is to put it in the depths of the berth, then put it in a bucket of water for overexposure, or in a landing net if it does not fit into the bucket, and continue to fish. True, from the landing net straight into the garden, and in a bucket you can collect several pieces, then get the garden. It's hard (watch the video). For all the time I had one "almost large". A 700 gram breeder broke off as soon as I started to pick it up. A man came and said that he had such a floating landing net on floats and ropes, he would bring fish there, if it was big. Yes, there is completely different fishing, completely different devices ...

Here's my short report. There were a lot of photos, there was a stunning sunset, dawn, and a starry night with city lights on the horizon. All will not fit into the report. Sorry that there are not enough fish. I took off only my own. 4.5 kilos, weighed at home. Yes, and more. It took neither more nor less for gasoline, only 540 hryvnia ...

Fishing in Kremenchug takes place mainly in the waters of the third largest river in Europe - the Dnieper. Thanks to this, it is possible to catch almost all the most popular types of fish. You can fish even all year round, however, for winter fishing you need to have special tackle. In addition, the banks of the river are very picturesque and beautiful, so a lot of positive impressions will be provided to you in any case.

Where and for whom to fish in Kremenchug?

The locals are not the only avid fishermen. Guests of the city are also very fond of this activity and are often interested in where fishing takes place in Kremenchug and its environs. I must say that they mainly fish, of course, on the Dnieper, but there is also the so-called Kremenchug Sea (hydroelectric power station reservoir). It is equally popular. The Dnieper is one of the greatest and oldest rivers. During its existence, mankind has changed not only the speed of its course, but also the very type of the channel. This could not but affect the species composition and number of fish. Now in the waters of the river you can catch:

• catfish;
• pike;
• bream;
• perch;
• silver carp;
• pike perch;
• carp;
• carp;
• white cupid;
• crucian carp;
• asp, etc.

As evidenced by fishing reports, Kremenchuk is a city of lovers of quiet hunting. That is why on weekends the shores are dotted with fishermen. If you want not only to have a good time by the water, but to catch your trophies, then it is better to go further away from the city. This will significantly increase the chances of a good catch.

Reservoir fishing

Many people associate fishing in Kremenchug with the so-called Kremenchug Sea. It was built in the 1960s. Since then, not only have they been resting here, but this reservoir is also used by enterprises specializing in fish farming. The shores of the reservoir are very convenient for fishing, in some places it is possible to drive up directly by car. However, the reservoir is available not only for those who like to have a rest as a “savage”. There are also specially equipped bases with the rental of the necessary equipment.

It is noteworthy that fishing in Kremenchug on the so-called sea has never left anyone without prey. But on the Dnieper, this happened all the time. Fishermen constantly feed fish there, but they still prefer quieter and more peaceful places further from the coast.

Fishing in winter

Even in winter cold and cold, fishing in Kremenchug does not stop. Real lovers are not afraid of weather conditions. People come here from everywhere: not only from the surrounding area and neighboring areas. After all, the reservoir provides an opportunity for ice fishing. Some even set up tents right on the ice and can do what they love for several days. The main prey in winter is roach and bream.

But fishing on the Dnieper in winter is very dangerous. The river is navigable, and in recent years the ice has not been able to seize enough to make it safe to fish on it.

Recreation centers

For those who are going to have a family vacation or just like a comfortable rest, it will be interesting to know that fishing in Kremenchug can also take place at recreation centers. Although this service is paid, but the cost is quite acceptable. Everyone can find housing and affordable equipment.

Recreation centers provide not only comfortable conditions for spending leisure time in the fresh air, but also provide stocking of the reservoir. In addition, fishing tournaments and competitions are periodically held here, in which anyone can take part.

The middle of winter, the second half of January-February, is a very difficult time for winter fishermen. Many anglers, however, believe that the "wilderness" was invented by the losers to justify the lack of catch. Is it a myth or reality, a decrease in bite in the middle of winter? What really happens in the Deaf Winter and why every winter fisherman has heard about the deaf winter. And also we will figure out how to make the fish bite. 😉

The ice has been standing for a long time and is getting thicker, which means that less and less oxygen is supplied to the water. This process occurs everywhere, but in some reservoirs it does not change anything, but somewhere it leads to a complete lack of fish activity and even death. On some reservoirs, especially stagnant and shallow ones, there really is a wilderness. It's hard to argue with that. It is especially difficult for fish to go through the wilderness in stagnant ponds, where shallow and at the bottom are full of rotting algae. If sometimes the fish even dies, then what doubts can there be about the deterioration of the bite, with a decrease in the oxygen content in the water.

On large bodies of water, flowing lakes and especially in rivers, the problem of low oxygen content in the water is not so noticeable. On rivers, one might say, the concept of deafness is completely absent, and as such, a long decline in biting is not observed. However, even on large lakes, in severe winters, when the ice becomes thicker than a meter, biting may disappear. And then local fishermen, who did not know any problems before the village, will learn what the wilderness is. This is when you stick out over the hole for weeks like an idiot, and the impression is that there is a well below ... and not a reservoir once teeming with fish. That's it!

So, we figured out the reasons for deafness and in which bodies of water it is especially pronounced. Now let's try to figure out how to stir up the fish and make it bite during this difficult period.

First, you need to look for a section of the reservoir with the best oxygen regime. In the dead of winter, fish move away from their usual habitats and are located where there is more oxygen in the water, despite the fact that other factors of the reservoir are not at all characteristic of its usual rhythm. The best places for fishing in the wilderness: where the ice is thinner; where streams and springs flow; where cracks are visible in the ice; in the thicket of reeds and coastal bushes, where oxygen enters the water through the stems of plants.

In the wilderness, the fish is very lethargic and cautious. You should use the thinnest cobweb lines, the smallest jigs with neat thin hooks. In some cases, the so-called fish can be provoked to bite. break the pattern. Nobody canceled the curiosity of the fish, even in the middle of winter. Using a bright acidic spoon or even a luminous, fluorescent one, you can make the still sluggish predator succumb to temptation and bite. Experiment and don't give up!

Fishing in Pripyat is the best place for fishing in Belarus

Many experienced fishermen, as well as just amateurs, have heard about catches on the Pripyat River more than once. It is no coincidence that many consider it the most fishy river in the Republic of Belarus. About fishing in Pripyat, there are only positive reviews about good catches and a lot of impressions from experienced fishermen.

The Pripyat River is a large tributary of the Dnieper. The river's territory stretches 776 kilometers in length, of which 500 kilometers flows through the Belarusian territory. The upper and lower reaches of the river are located within the territory of Ukraine. The river spreads over low-lying plains, drains swamps, fills many lakes and ponds with water.

Since the river flows through low-lying wetlands, its flow is slow. The river itself flows out of the swamps, so its floodplain is swampy. The width of the channel is different: in the upper reaches - 35 m, on average - 50-70 m, in the lower reaches 250 m. When it flows into the Kiev reservoir, it reaches up to 5 km.

If we consider the length of the river in Belarus, then you need to get to Pripyat through Polesie and the swamps of the Brest and Gomel regions. The road is bad, in lowland and wetlands.

Pripyat is rich in various kinds of fish. According to statistics and data of ichthyologists, more than 35 species of fish live in the Pripyat basin. It contains perch, roach, pike, ide, ruff, crucian carp. You can also catch valuable species of fish - pike perch, catfish, carp, podust, sabrefish and others. The fish population is different in the different course of the river.

Fishing methods

In summer, when the water level approaches the minimum mark, it is best to fish with a feeder. Basically, the feeder catches bream, ide, carp and silver bream.

Also, many fishermen on the river catch on spinning, most often in oxbows. Perch and pike are successfully caught on spinning.

A simple float rod is rarely caught in these places, only where the current is very slow. However, many anglers get a very successful catch and a lot of emotions using a 7m rod.

Of course, you need to think about baits as well. Prepare with you several types of bait from different types of cereals. The bait made from peas, rolled oats, millet, pearl barley is perfect for catching on the Pripyat River.

However, you should not cook porridge in advance, as it is a perishable product that can turn sour during a long journey to the place of catch. As a bait for a catch on the Pripyat River, a dung worm, maggot is also well suited.

The best places

Throughout the river, in different places and sites for the catch, there are peculiarities and nuances.

The season plays an important role for the fishing site. In the spring, for example, it is quite difficult to find an entrance and approach to the water, since the river spreads quite strongly. The spring flood lasts for several months. In addition, it is forbidden to enter the water in spring due to fish spawning.

However, you can try fishing near large cities. And the question of the success of the catch during this period is controversial. Many anglers believe that at this time the fish leave to prepare for spawning.

In the summer, when the Pripyat enters its shores, fishing enthusiasts increase significantly. In autumn, Pripyat is famous for its successful pike fishing.

Since the famous Chernobyl is located in the lower reaches of the river, fishing in most suitable places is prohibited, because there is a threat of contamination of radioactive substances with water and silt. In the upper and middle reaches, the river is fairly clean from radiation. Therefore, it is here that fishing is in great demand and pleases fishermen, impressing with an abundance of fish.

During flood periods, the area upstream of the river is flooded and provides excellent spawning grounds for fish.

The nature of the landscape and the riverbanks becomes completely different when the middle course begins. These areas have mostly sandy shores and hard seabed. There are much more fish in these places than in the upper reaches.

However, it is worth considering that the current itself becomes faster and you need to catch it using harder rigs. Here you can come across sabrefish, ruff, burbot, carp, catfish and other types of fish.

Places on the oxbows of the Mozyr region, as well as south of the town of Luninets, are popular for fishing at any time of the year. In summer, popular places near the village of Konkovichi, as well as in the Zhakhovichi area. In autumn, fish bite well in the south of Zhitkovichi. The area in the Petrikov area is also considered a fishing spot.

They fish in Pripyat, both from the shore and from a boat. Since the banks of the river are sandy and low, they are submerged during floods, forming shallow lakes. When the water recedes, the sandy shores become beaches for recreation and fishing.

However, not all recreation areas will have successful fishing. Many beaches are not suitable for fishing at all. The fact is that the topography of the beach bottom plays an important role. Large fish go deep, and small things are found in shallow water. Since the topography of the bottom of the Pripyat River is not uniform, it is better to study the bottom for shallows or dumps before choosing a place for fishing from the shore.

Conditions, cost and feedback

Fishing on the Pripyat River is mostly paid. Moreover, the prices for fishing are considerable.

Unfortunately, there are practically no free fishing spots left on the territory of the Pripyat River.

It is necessary to buy a fishing permit from specialized agencies. There are options to pay for day fishing or a monthly or seasonal fishing pass. Of course, the cost is also influenced by the method of fishing, from the shore to a feeder or a fishing rod, or active fishing with a boat trip, with a motor.

Prices for vouchers are set independently by the lessees of fishing grounds.

In addition, Pripyat partially (about 35 km long - from Lake Ustye to Lake Staritsa) passes through the territory of the Pripyatsky National Park in the south of Belarus. This area of ​​the river is in the use of the park, where tourism is very developed. Fishing in the park is possible in designated areas for a fee.
